There is no better C, than C, full stop.

-betterC  should become ..   -slimD

But we really do need a focus on both -slimD and -bloatyD

For D to be successful, it needs to be a flexible language that 
enables programmer choice. We don't all have the same problems to 
solve.

C is not successful because of how much it constrains you.
